Amazing Grace Whisper's

by Maple Tree   Dec 6, 2018




Wintry kaleidoscopes form prisms
within a mind filled with grief,
Innocence scatters crossed skeletal tree limbs
mating with snowflakes of all ethnicity.

Bedding of crystals bury a forgotten smile
as time strips her soul of dignity,
It's been a naked death;
dancing silhouettes upon frozen tears.

A raven pierces daggers of reality
into my soul, pecking upon tombstones
as icicle iris's watch out of desperation-
our unity becomes a silent ending
as the final snowflake falls.

    A reality that no one wishes to live, yet we do. Goodbyes are always the hardest and saddest.

    It’s an amazing poem packed with emotions!

    Beautiful Andria as always: the imagery, wording, poetical expression, you name it,
    Though please do not put salt on your wound , not even for the sake of creating such a beauty:
    "A raven pierces daggers of reality
    into my soul, pecking upon tombstones
    as icicle iris's watch out of desperation-
    our unity becomes a silent ending
    as the final snowflake falls."
    Beautiful, but chilling. I wish I had a magic wand and could shoo this ominous Nihilism out of your heart. or could hug you so hard to squeeze it out. .
    All said, any poetical joy you give us we celebrate. You are a gift!!

    As I said to the other poets, this was really difficult to judge, and I was so pleased with the entrants. I found this piece soothing in its imagery but a little too abstract in its entirety - the meaning behind it is a little bit smothered in (albeit, wonderful) word play. You exercised your vocabulary really well here, and it’s another commendable write from a great poet.
